Feel Good with Full Ceramic Crowns
The visual and functional satisfaction provided by dental treatments is very important for patients to feel good and self-confident. If you want a more realistic crown solution that is more compatible with your own teeth, glass ceramic crowns (Emax crowns) may be the right solution for you.
What is a Full Ceramic Crown?
The basic material of the full ceramic crown, also known as Emax crown treatment, is a glass crystal structure that is strengthened by high pressure and compression method. Unlike other crowns used in dental restorations, it is a ceramic material compatible with the human body that combines durability and beauty.
Application Time for Full Ceramic Crowns in Turkey
A clinical examination is carried out in the first session. Photographs of the patient are taken for the smile analysis & design. Measurements are taken and necessary preperations are completed. Following impressions and intraoral scannings of the teeth are done temporary crowns are placed in the patient's mouth.
After the restorations are prepared in the laboratory environment, a final session is scheduled to cement the emax crowns over teeth or implants. The analysis and design processes take less time and the marginal fitting error is reduced with the use of digital applications such as intraoral (intraoral imaging systems) and CAD/CAM systems.
Depending on the number of teeth, the average treatment time varies between 3 and 7 days.

- The ceramic crown is translucent, allowing more light to pass through. This makes it difficult to distinguish ceramic teeth from natural teeth.

- Emax crown tooth structure is very smooth and gliding. This helps to protect tooth and gum health by preventing tartar formation.
- There is no metal infrastructure. Therefore, the gray gum line image that appears in other conventional crowns does not exist.
- Each crown is produced in a patient-specific way, taking into account tooth, mouth and face harmony. This gives an aesthetically perfect result.

Difference between Full Ceramic Crowns and Laminate Veneers
In fact, the materials used for laminate veneers and full ceramic crowns are the same. Both are made of ceramic-based material applied without a metal infrastructure. A laminated veneer is a leaf-like veneer that is bonded to the front surface of the tooth. In this procedure, the back surface of the tooth is never touched. Only the color and shape of the teeth change from the front. On the other hand, full ceramic crowns are applied by fitting onto the entire surface of the tooth. In other words, the materials contact only with the front but also with the back of the teeth.
Which One? Full Ceramic Crown or Zirconium?
Your dentist will provide information about both applications in line with your needs and will recommend a treatment process in this context if the use of which material and how it will benefit you more in terms of both health and aesthetics.
In short, the difference between Glass Ceramic Crowns and Zirconium teeth is mainly due to the use of two different materials. Both materials have different recommended uses.
For example, if you have a toothless gap in your mouth and a bridge treatment is planned, a ceramic bridge will not be built. Here, zirconium crowns, which are structurally more durable than ceramic crowns, are preferred. Glass ceramic material is more transparent than standard zirconium and can give a more natural appearance because it has a thinner structure. For this reason, Full Ceramic Crowns are preferred for the anterior teeth in the absence of any missing teeth.
